Psalms 107
1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
| הֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
| יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃ |
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
| וּֽמֵאֲרָצוֹת קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃ |
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
| תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימוֹן דָּרֶךְ עִיר מוֹשָׁב לֹא מָצָֽאוּ׃ |
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
| רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃ |
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצוּקוֹתֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵֽם׃ |
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
| וַֽיַּדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ |
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
| כִּֽי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֽוֹב׃ |
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
| יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶֽל׃ |
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and scorned the counsel of the most High:
| כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיוֹן נָאָֽצוּ׃ |
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help.
| וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵֽר׃ |
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
| יוֹצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמוֹסְרוֹתֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּֽק׃ |
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
| כִּֽי־שִׁבַּר דַּלְתוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּֽעַ׃ |
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
| אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּֽמֵעֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
18 Their soul abhors all manner of meat; and they draw near to the gates of death.
| כׇּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי־מָֽוֶת׃ |
19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
| וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקוֹתֵיהֶם יוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃ |
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
| יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִֽיתוֹתָֽם׃ |
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
| וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תוֹדָה וִיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּֽה׃ |
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
| ׆ יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם בׇּאֳנִיּוֹת עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּֽים׃ |
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
| ׆ הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהֹוָה וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו בִּמְצוּלָֽה׃ |
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof.
| ׆ וַיֹּאמֶר וַֽיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרוֹמֵם גַּלָּֽיו׃ |
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
| ׆ יַעֲלוּ שָׁמַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהוֹמוֹת נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃ |
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.
| ׆ יָחוֹגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּוֹר וְכׇל־חׇכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃ |
28 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses.
| ׆ וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּֽמִמְּצוּקֹתֵיהֶם יוֹצִיאֵֽם׃ |
29 He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
| יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶֽם׃ |
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brings them to their desired haven.
| וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִֽי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחוֹז חֶפְצָֽם׃ |
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
| יוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה חַסְדּוֹ וְנִפְלְאוֹתָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
| וִֽירוֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמוֹשַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלֽוּהוּ׃ |
33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the springs into dry ground;
| יָשֵׂם נְהָרוֹת לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֽוֹן׃ |
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
| אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יוֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ |
35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into springs.
| יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָֽיִם׃ |
36 And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
| וַיּוֹשֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכוֹנְנוּ עִיר מוֹשָֽׁב׃ |
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
| וַיִּזְרְעוּ שָׂדוֹת וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבוּאָֽה׃ |
38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
| וַיְבָרְכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִֽיט׃ |
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
| וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֽוֹן׃ |
40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
| ׆ שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָֽרֶךְ׃ |
41 Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes him families like a flock.
| וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֽוֹת׃ |
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
| יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכׇל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּֽיהָ׃ |
43 Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the LORD.
| מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמׇר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבּוֹנְנוּ חַֽסְדֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
